- For the lovers, the dreamers—and the sleuths, the horror fans, the history buffs, fans of sci-fi and fantasy worlds, and even aspiring children’s authors—we’ve compiled a (non-exhaustive!) list of genre-focused literary publications. If you’re looking for a home for your genre-specific fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or artwork (and/or want to find a community of writers who share your interests), journals like these might be a great place to start.

The focus: a piece of short fiction that illuminates the role of law and/or lawyers in modern life. If this is a genre you are interested in, click here for more details! (The winner will receive a prize of $5,000.)]
